This volume represents the work of the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office’s researchers, and also includes invited papers from other researchers conducting work in Nunavut. In 1999, Nunavut became Canada’s third territory. The Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office (CNGO) was established that same year and is Nunavut’s de facto geological survey. The CNGO is a unique government entity within Canada, being comanaged and co-funded by three partners—two federal departments and the territorial Government of Nunavut (GN). The federal departments are Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC); the territorial department is Economic Development and Transportation (GN-EDT). Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) is an ex-officio member of the CNGO Management Board that provides operational oversight for the office. The year 2020 is one in which many will reflect on Nunavut’s past and envision the future. The governments of Nunavut and Canada signed an Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) on August 15, 2019, the intent of which is to devolve Crown lands and oil, gas and mineral resources from the Government of Canada to the Government of Nunavut. The signatories were Aluki Kotierk, President of NTI; Joe Savikataaq, Premier of Nunavut; and Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations. A Devolution Final Agreement will be in place in two years, to be followed by drafting of the legislation needed to bring devolution into effect in five years (2024). What the AIP and, ultimately, devolution mean for the CNGO is that the office would be amalgamated with other geoscientists and professionals in Nunavut who are currently responsible for Crown lands and resources. The CNGO would merge with the CIRNAC Nunavut Regional Office and the GN-EDT, and the united entity would likely form a new department of the Government of Nunavut. Following the template of the Northwest Territories, this new department would include a newly formed Nunavut Geological Survey. The CNGO is a small office with six professionals who provide expertise in Precambrian, Paleozoic and Quaternary geology, GIS and online geoscience-data dissemination. The office operates on annual funding from the three partners, which is used for operation of the office. The CNGO and the GN-EDT apply for additional research funding annually from external sources, principally the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor), under the Strategic Funds in Economic Development (SINED) program. This year marks the end of SINED funding sensu stricto, as CanNor moves to administer funds under its Pan-Territorial Growth Strategy. The purpose of this strategy is to help stimulate economic growth under the vision that reflects the unique advantages of each territory. The development of Nunavut’s mineral and petroleum resources has the potential to generate significant economic benefits for the territory. To date, Nunavummiut have benefited significantly from past and present mine development, mineral-resource production (e.g., gold, iron, lead, zinc) and exploration. Geoscience research and knowledge of Nunavut’s geology will allow all stakeholders in Nunavut to make sound decisions on mineral-resource development, land-use planning and infrastructure development for Nunavut’s economy and betterment. The mandate of the CNGO is to provide accessible geoscience information and expertise in Nunavut to support responsible resource exploration and development, responsible infrastructure development, and geoscience education, training and awareness. Researchers in the office initiate and conduct a wide range of geoscience research—mapping, interpreting and reporting on the geological features and resources of Nunavut. This work is conducted commonly through collaborations with other governments, universities, industry and communities. The aim is that the resultant data and interpretations assist northerners by ensuring that new geoscience information is equally accessible. The CNGO and its office partners co-manage and disseminate data through two websites (http://cngo.ca/ and http:// NunavutGeoscience.ca/). Work to migrate the websites to a new hosting platform was completed in 2019; updating of the websites is a focus for the office in 2020. The Summary of Activities volumes and the accompanying Geoscience Data Series disseminate the results of geological mapping (bedrock and surficial) and analytical results from sampling (rock, till, soil, lake sediment and stream sediment). Detailed papers—11 in total—with preliminary observations and interpretations are included in this Summary of Activities 2019 volume (also available for download at http://cngo.ca/). These papers discuss the results of research work conducted in 2019 under three broad themes: Regional Geoscience, Geoscience for Infrastructure and Data Dissemination. The first six papers present results of mapping—bedrock, stratigraphic and surficial. Zhang and Pell discuss collaborativework between the CNGO and themineral industry (Peregrine Diamonds, now De Beers Group) on the colour alteration index (CAI) values of Late Ordovician–early Silurian microfossils (conodonts) found within carbonate xenoliths in a diamond-bearing kimberlite from the Chidliak property on Hall Peninsula, Baffin Island. Their research helps in understanding the emplacement processes and cooling history of the kimberlites.

What is the role of the GN in issuing wildlife research permits? On June 1, 1999, Nunavut became Canada’s newest territory. Since its creation, interest in studying its natural resources has steadily risen. Human demands on animals and plants can leave them vulnerable, and wildlife research permits allow the Department to keep records of what, and how much research is going on in Nunavut, and to use this as a tool to assist in the conservation of its resources. The four primary purposes of research in Nunavut are: a. To help ensure that communities are informed of scientific research in and around their communities; b. To maintain a centralized knowledgebase of research activities in Nunavut; c. To ensure that there are no conflicting or competing research activities in Nunavut; and d. To ensure that wildlife research activities abide by various laws and regulations governing the treatment and management of wildlife and wildlife habitat in Nunavut. 2. How is this process supported by the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement? Conservation: Article 5.1.5 The principles of conservation are: a. the maintenance of the natural balance of ecological systems within the Nunavut Settlement Area; b. the protection of wildlife habitat; c. the maintenance of vital, healthy, wildlife populations capable of sustaining harvesting needs as defined in this article; and d. the restoration and revitalization of depleted populations of wildlife and wildlife habitat.

  • Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) CLAUDIO APORTA1
    ARCTIC VOL. 56, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2003) P. 321–327 New Ways of Mapping: Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) CLAUDIO APORTA1 (Received 11 July 2001; accepted in revised form 10 February 2003) ABSTRACT. The combined use of a GPS receiver and mapping software proved to be a straightforward, flexible, and inexpensive way of mapping and displaying (in digital or paper format) 400 place names and 37 trails used by Inuit of Igloolik, in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. The geographic coordinates of some of the places named had been collected in a previous toponymy project. Experienced hunters suggested the names of additional places, and these coordinates were added on location, using a GPS receiver. The database of place names thus created is now available to the community at the Igloolik Research Centre. The trails (most of them traditional, well-traveled routes used in Igloolik for generations) were mainly mapped while traveling, using the track function of a portable GPS unit. Other trails were drawn by experienced hunters, either on paper maps or electronically using Fugawi mapping software. The methods employed in this project are easy to use, making them helpful to local communities involved in toponymy and other mapping projects. The geographic data obtained with this method can be exported easily into text files for use with GIS software if further manipulation and analysis of the data are required. Key words: Inuit place names, Inuit trails, mapping, Geographic Information System, GIS, Global Positioning System, GPS, Igloolik, toponymy RÉSUMÉ.

  • Translitterering Och Alternativa Geografiska Namnformer
    TRANSLITTERERING OCH ALTERNATIVA GEOGRAFISKA NAMNFORMER Version XX, 27 juli 2015, Stefan Nordblom 1 FÖRORD För många utländska egennamn, i första hand personnamn och geografiska namn, finns det på svenska väl etablerade namnformer. Om det inte finns någon sådan kan utländska egennamn dock vålla bekymmer vid översättning till svenska. Föreliggande material är tänkt att vara till hjälp i sådana situationer och tar upp fall av translitterering1 och transkribering2 samt exonymer3 . Problemen uppstår främst på grund av att olika språk har olika system för translitterering och transkribering från ett visst språk och på grund av att orter kan ha olika namn på olika utländska språk. Eftersom vi oftast översätter från engelska och franska innehåller sammanställningen även translittereringar och exonymer på engelska och franska (samt tyska). Man kan alltså i detta material göra en sökning på sådana namnformer och komma fram till den svenska namnformen. Om man t.ex. i en engelsk text träffar på det geografiska namnet Constance kan man söka på det namnet här och då få reda på att staden (i detta fall på tyska och) på svenska kallas Konstanz. Den efterföljande sammanställningen bygger i huvudsak på följande källor: Institutet för de inhemska språken (FI): bl.a. skriften Svenska ortnamn i Finland - http://kaino.kotus.fi/svenskaortnamn/ Iate (EU-institutionernas termbank) Nationalencyklopedin Nationalencyklopedins kartor Interinstitutionella publikationshandboken - http://publications.europa.eu/code/sv/sv-000100.htm Språkbruk (Tidskrift utgiven av Svenska språkbyrån i Helsingfors) Språkrådet© (1996). Publikation med rekommendationer i term- och språkfrågor som utarbetas av rådets svenska översättningsenhet i samråd med övriga EU-institutioner. TT-språket - info.tt.se/tt-spraket/ I de fall uppgifterna i dessa källor inte överensstämmer med varandra har det i enskilda fall varit nödvändigt att väga, välja och sammanjämka namnförslagen, varvid rimlig symmetri har eftersträvats.

  • Movements and Habitat Use of Muskoxen on Bathurst, Cornwallis
    MOVEMENTS AND HABITAT USE OF MUSKOXEN (Ovibos moschatus) ON BATHURST, CORNWALLIS, AND DEVON ISLANDS, 2003-2006 Morgan Anderson1 and Michael A. D. Ferguson Version: 23 December 2016 1Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut, Box 209 Igloolik NU X0A 0L0 STATUS REPORT 2016-08 NUNAVUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH SECTION IGLOOLIK, NU i Summary Eleven muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were fitted with satellite collars in summer 2003 to investigate habitat preferences and movement parameters in areas where they are sympatric with Peary caribou on Bathurst, Cornwallis, and Devon islands. Collars collected locations every 4 days until May 2006, with 4 muskoxen on Bathurst Island collared, 2 muskoxen collared on Cornwallis Island, and 5 muskoxen collared on western Devon Island. Only 5-29% of the satellite locations were associated with an estimated error of less than 150 m (Argos Class 3 locations). Muskoxen in this study used low-lying valleys and coastal areas with abundant vegetation on all 3 islands, in agreement with previous studies in other areas and Inuit qaujimajatuqangit. They often selected tussock graminoid tundra, moist/dry non-tussock graminoid/dwarf shrub tundra, wet sedge, and sparsely vegetated till/colluvium sites. Minimum convex polygon home ranges representing 100% of the locations with <150 m error include these movements between core areas, and ranged from 233 km2 to 2494 km2 for all collared muskoxen over the 3 years, but these home ranges include large areas of unused habitat separating discrete patches of good habitat where most locations were clustered. Several home ranges overlapped, which is not surprising, since muskoxen are not territorial.

    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Proceedings Series 2015/042 Central and Arctic Region Proceedings of the regional peer review of the re-evaluation of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) in the Eastern Arctic Biogeographic Region of the Canadian Arctic January 27-29, 2015 Winnipeg, MB Chairperson: Kathleen Martin Editor: Vanessa Grandmaison and Kathleen Martin Fisheries and Oceans Canada 501 University Crescent Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N6 December 2015 Foreword The purpose of these Proceedings is to document the activities and key discussions of the meeting. The Proceedings may include research recommendations, uncertainties, and the rationale for decisions made during the meeting. Proceedings may also document when data, analyses or interpretations were reviewed and rejected on scientific grounds, including the reason(s) for rejection. As such, interpretations and opinions presented in this report individually may be factually incorrect or misleading, but are included to record as faithfully as possible what was considered at the meeting. No statements are to be taken as reflecting the conclusions of the meeting unless they are clearly identified as such. Moreover, further review may result in a change of conclusions where additional information was identified as relevant to the topics being considered, but not available in the timeframe of the meeting. In the rare case when there are formal dissenting views, these are also archived as Annexes to the Proceedings.
